and must respectfully disagree with the previous assessment. Just heard this on xm 23(not sure if it was the Charlie Miller version they played, but the
...
sound was excellent). I didn't hear anything lackluster about this show at all. On the contrary. This is an energetic, tight, rocking show, with a great second set in particular.
I'm no expert, but it seems to me like the early '80s aren't well represented because the recordings that exist from that period are not generally great. I know I pay less attention to this era than any other era save for mid-'90s. I think that's largely due to the fact that I haven't heard many clean recordings from the years '80 through '86. For me, the sound quality is so important. The really special thing about this band (I don't need to tell anyone this) is the chemistry, and recordings that don't allow you to hear what everyone in the band is doing do a disservice to the music. To everyone out there who is working to bring us these amazing copies of shows we might not have noticed before, thank you. I already loved this band, but I love this music even more now that I can hear with pristine clarity the interplay between these incredible musicians.
This show has caused me to re-evaluate my biases about this period in the band's history. I will definitely be playing this show again.

Subject: European hangover?
This show is pretty lackluster effort, almost as if the jet lag was still on the boys. Eyes had that "minnie mouse on methedrine" quality that seemed to
...
say we need to play fast and go to bed. Same seemed true for Casey Jones when the end was REALLY in sight for the night. Having said all that, there are some very nice moments and tunes (never heard a show that didn't) that make this a worthwhile listen.
I'm always grateful to have these shows available from the fine people who recorded, cleaned up, transferred, etc. but have to give this a three and three for sound and performance. Peace.

I cant tell you how pleased I was to see this show on this site. First time I've been here. My friend and I drove down from Roanoke in my old MGB to see
...
this show. One of the few times it didnt breakdown!, but this was a great show! I'll never forget Shakedown Street and the girls dancing in the entrance ways silhouetted by the light from outside..it was a magic night...I gotta give it a 5 for the memory factor
